    Migrate Win10 boot disk to another PC + install Linux on a second disk


    Ordered the components for a new PC will arrrive in the next week or so.
    I will reuse the disks from the old one, and the configuration will be

    SSD1: Win10 old installation, Legacy boot mode
    SSD2: new Linux installation, TBD (UEFI?) mode
    HDD: NTFS fs data/Win application disk + accessible Linux data disk

    Interested to discuss if this is a crazy setup and need to rethink what to do, or with some care I can achieve it.
    Little or no experience in sys admin, so difficult I can achieve something not guided.

    :)

    Linux boot disk?

    Unfortunately no, I was going to get a new drive as my second plan.

    I really dont think its the drive though.

    Also I have no experience with linux or any linux distro... is it hard to use? and what is the best distro to use for a live boot disk?

    Disk boot failure!!!

    You can format the disk with like fdisk or something. A linux disk would make more sense but you say it won`t boot....

    Linux boot disk?

    If your Linux OS has been corrupted or damaged than you should try to use a Linux Boot Disk to reinstall or repair your computer. it is the easy and best way to again use your dad's computer smoothly.
